LOL -- sorry, yeah, it's a bit difficult to understand the right nomenclature, but I was indeed referring to having what this old man used to think of as a midi keyboard but nowadays is just a midi controller, external to the program, and invoke the midi keyboard wizard (which itself is a bit of a misleading term, I guess).

The manual cleared that all up, and I could have sworn I looked there originally but couldn't find it. And now that I have one (the external controller) I find it does work as advertised, so that's fine as well.
